Abstract (en)

[origin: US5769113A] A manifold assembly 10 for operating a safety relief valve 12 includes a manifold block 60 having a block inlet port 230, a block dome pressure port 232, and a pair of control cavities 220 and 222 each adapted for receiving a pilot valve 70 or auxiliary control member 80. Inlet control valves 74, 84, dome pressure control valves 76, 86, and test control valves 78, 88 are each mounted on the manifold block. One of the pilot valves may be maintained on-line for controlling operation of the safety relief valve, while the other pilot valve may be isolated for service. A cartridge pilot valve assembly 70 includes a bushing 126 for facilitating installation and removal of the cartridge valve assembly from the valve block. An improved metal washer 122 is provided having inner and outer knife edges 330, 334 for sealing engagement between the valve body 110 and the block 60.
